This hwdb update is to avoid unwanted screen rotation when tilting the laptop.

[Impact]

 * This fixes unwanted rotations on certain Dell clamshell laptop models with accelerometer.

[Test Plan]

 * On Dell laptops with model SKU 0A36, 0A3E, 0B09, 0B0B, 0B0D, 0B11, install this package and ensure the kernel is updated to the latest.
 * Screen should be correct side up in login screen and desktop.
 * Tilt the laptop and the screen should not be rotated.

[Where problems could occur]

 * This is to add parameters for certain models in hwdb, and does not affect any other part of systemd.

 * This fix would only take effect with kernel 5.13 or the above patch backported.

 * Only models with the same Dell SKU would be affected.

[scope]

this is needed for all releases

this is being added to upstream by https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20314 and https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20661
